Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:

mass RST conversion is happily mostly behind us.

In the Distribution Kernels track at Linux Plumbers Conference there
was some discussion around the difficulty of making kernel builds
reproducible.
This is a solved problem, but the solutions don't appear to be
documented in one place. This document lists the issues I know about
and the settings needed to ensure reproducibility.

Standard integer promotion is already done and %hx and %hhx is useless
so do not encourage the use of %hh[xudi] or %h[xudi].
As Linus said in:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wgoxnmsj8GEVFJSvTwdnWm8wVJthefNk2n6+4TC=20e0Q@mail.gmail.com/
It's a pointless warning, making for more complex code, and
making people remember esoteric printf format details that have no
reason for existing.
The "h" and "hh" things should never be used. The only reason for them
being used if if you have an "int", but you want to print it out as a
"char" (and honestly, that is a really bad reason, you'd be better off
just using a proper cast to make the code more obvious).
So if what you have a "char" (or unsigned char) you should always just
print it out as an "int", knowing that the compiler already did the
proper type conversion.

This advice is obsolete and slightly harmful for filesystems from this
millenium: any modern filesystem can handle unexpected crashes without
requiring fsck -- and on the other hand, trying to write to the disk when
the kernel is in a bad state risks introducing corruption.
For ext2, any unsafe shutdown meant widespread breakage, but it's no longer
a reasonable filesystem for any non-special use.

It seems a UTF-8 byte order mark (the least useful kind of BOM...) snuck
into the file and broke Sphinx's detection of the title line.
Besides making arm/samsung-s3c24xx/index.html look a little better, this
patch also confines the non-index pages in arm/samsung-s3c24xx to their

With the introduction of Documentation/sphinx/automarkup.py, socket() is
parsed as a reference to the in-kernel definition of socket. Sphinx then
decides that struct socket is a good match, which is usually not
intended, when the syscall is meant instead. This was observed in
Documentation/networking/af_xdp.rst.
Prevent socket() from being misinterpreted by adding it to the Skipfuncs
list in automarkup.py.

The filenames for cifs documentation is not using the same
convention as almost all Kernel documents is using. So,
rename them to a more appropriate name. Then, manually convert
the documentation files for CIFS to ReST.
By doing a manual conversion, we can preserve the original
author's style, while making it to look more like the other
Kernel documents.
Most of the conversion here is trivial. The most complex one was
the README file (which was renamed to usage.rst).

This file has its own proper style, except that, after a while,
the coding style gets violated and whitespaces are placed on
different ways.
As Sphinx and ReST are very sentitive to whitespace differences,
I had to opt if each entry after required/mandatory/... fields
should start with zero spaces or with a tab. I opted to start them
all from the zero position, in order to avoid needing to break lines
with more than 80 columns, with would make harder for review.
Most of the other changes at porting.rst were made to use an unified
notation with works nice as a text file while also produce a good html
output after being parsed.
